5 Y Herodes quería matarlo, pero temía al pueblo, porque tenían a Juan por profeta.

And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

6 P ero cuando se celebraba el cumpleaños de Herodes, la hija de Herodías danzó en medio y agradó a Herodes,

And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.

9 E ntonces el rey se entristeció, pero a causa del juramento y de los que estaban con él a la mesa, mandó que se la dieran,

And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.

10 y ordenó decapitar a Juan en la cárcel.

And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

13 A l oírlo Jesús, se apartó de allí, él solo, en una barca a un lugar desierto. Cuando la gente lo supo, lo siguió a pie desde las ciudades.

When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

15 C uando anochecía, se acercaron a él sus discípulos, diciendo: —El lugar es desierto y la hora ya avanzada. Despide a la multitud para que vayan por las aldeas y compren algo de comer.

And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.

He said, Bring them hither to me.

19 E ntonces mandó a la gente recostarse sobre la hierba; y tomando los cinco panes y los dos peces, y levantando los ojos al cielo, bendijo, y partió y dio los panes a los discípulos, y los discípulos a la multitud.

And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

20 C omieron todos y se saciaron; y recogieron lo que sobró de los pedazos, doce cestas llenas.

And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

21 L os que comieron fueron como cinco mil hombres, sin contar las mujeres y los niños. Jesús anda sobre el mar

And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

22 E n seguida Jesús hizo a sus discípulos entrar en la barca e ir delante de él a la otra ribera, entre tanto que él despedía a la multitud.

And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

23 D espués de despedir a la multitud, subió al monte a orar aparte; y cuando llegó la noche, estaba allí solo.

And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

24 Y a la barca estaba en medio del mar, azotada por las olas, porque el viento era contrario.

But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

25 P ero a la cuarta vigilia de la noche, Jesús fue a ellos andando sobre el mar.

But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

28 E ntonces le respondió Pedro, y dijo: —Señor, si eres tú, manda que yo vaya a ti sobre las aguas.

And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

29 Y él dijo: —Ven. Y descendiendo Pedro de la barca, andaba sobre las aguas para ir a Jesús.

And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

30 P ero al ver el fuerte viento, tuvo miedo y comenzó a hundirse. Entonces gritó: —¡Señor, sálvame!

But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

31 A l momento Jesús, extendiendo la mano, lo sostuvo y le dijo: —¡Hombre de poca fe! ¿Por qué dudaste?

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

32 E n cuanto ellos subieron a la barca, se calmó el viento.

And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

33 E ntonces los que estaban en la barca se acercaron y lo adoraron, diciendo: —Verdaderamente eres Hijo de Dios. Jesús sana a los enfermos en Genesaret

Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

34 T erminada la travesía, llegaron a tierra de Genesaret.

And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.

35 C uando lo reconocieron los hombres de aquel lugar, enviaron noticia por toda aquella tierra alrededor, y trajeron a él todos los enfermos;

And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;

36 y le rogaban que los dejara tocar solamente el borde de su manto. Y todos los que lo tocaron, quedaron sanos.

And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
